ISTBODUOTOBT  AND  SXPLAITATORT. 


The  following  condenitod  i«umm*ry  of  the  pUa  of  the  guidt)  book   will   iiidici 
I  atefulDM*  to  the  aportvoiftn; 


9th.— Nftmea  of  D««reat  hotaU.  with 
c  barges. 

10th .  —When  guide*  own  bird  dogs  or 
hounda,  the  fact  ia  stated. 

nth.— Character  of  the  grutinda  —open 
or  wooded,  rocky  or  hilly,  wet  or  dry. 

12th.— The  chargea  (if  any)  made  by 
owners  of  land  Tor  privilege  of  shooting 
or  hunting 

13lb.— Character  of  the  sport. 


let— Location  of  grounda. 
9d.— How  they  are  reached. 
9d.— Name    of  grounda   and  distance 
tm  neareat  atation  of  tranaportatiou 
rate. 

4th.— Varietiea  of  game  found. 
Sth. — Moat  numerous  varieties. 
6th.— Beat  months  for  shooting    and 
punting. 
7th.— Livery  charges. 
Hth.— Charges  of  guides. 

About  three  thousand  shooting  and  hiiiitiu|{  grounds  more  or  less  accessible  to 
sld  aportmen  are  located  herein,  a  large  uuiiiber  being  tabulated  from  personal 
ktters  from  gentlemen  living  and  hunting  on  the  grounds  named.  Care  lias  been 
^ken  to  make  these  reports  accurate  and  none  have  been  admitted  that  do  not 
low  good  shooting  at  the  points  named. 

[The  alphabetical  headings  of  the  text  (p-igea  !.''>  to  2i)7),  indicate  the  stations  of 
knsportation  companies.  The  method  of  finding  in  this  volume  the  description 
!a  particular  locality  had  in  view  by  the  sportsiiian  may  be  illustrated  thus:  On 
je  182  will  be  found  Fort  Howard  ((;.  i  N.  W.),  and  by  referring  to  the  "ludex 
AbbreviationsB "  on  pp.  7-U,  the  initial  letters  "C.  ft  N.  W.,"  will  be 
|und  to  designate  the  Chicago  and  Northwestern  Railway,  and  that  Mr.  E.  P.  Wil- 
Chicago,  III.,  is  the  General  Passenger  Agent  of  said  railway,  to  whom  all 
kters  of  inquiry  as  to  trains,  cost  of  transportation  etc.,  via  his  road,  should  be 
Idressed.  About  two  hundred  transportation  companies  are  designated  in  this 
Ikuner. 

The  Game  Laws  of  the  States  and  Territories  and  those  of  Canada  have  been 
signedly  omitted.  The  frequent  and  often  absurd  and  ci>nflicting  chanii^es  made 
these  laws  render  any  compilation  published  in  an  annual  work  of  tbia 
kracter  niisleadiu}{  rather  than  instructive.  Many  transportation  companies, 
3n  the  routes  of  which  good  shooting  and  fishing  grounds  are  located,  issue 
tdensed  game  laws  of  their  respective  sections  and  States,  and  a  letter  ad- 
kssed  to  any  of  the  officers  named  in  the  index  (pp.  7  to  14)  will  secure  a  pamph 
copy  of  the  laws  desired. 

pai  Bpobtsham's  Gcidb  is  designed  as  a  companion  volume  to  Thc  Anolib's 
[>x— the  Gum  and  the  Rod — and  if  it  meets  with  a  modicum  of  the  welcome  n- 
kded  to  the  latter.  I  will  be  amply  repaid  for  the  labor  expended  upon  it

THE 

West  Shore  Eailroad 

Is  one  of  the  most  popular  routes  for  business  and  pleasure  travel 
leading  to  and  from  New  York  City,  as  well  as  being  the  most  substan- 
tially built  and  elegantly  equipped  double-track  line  through  Central 
New  York  Stat«,  This  superbly  built  railroad  has  been  justly  named 
the  "Picturesque  Route,"  traversing  as  it  does  the  west  shire  of  the 
hnitoric  and  world-famed  Hudson  Biver,  ^kirtin^'  the  foot-hills  of  the 
Ofttskill  Mountains,  famous  in  Washington  Irving's  "Eip  Van  Win- 
kle," and  passing  through  the  beautiful  Mohawk  Valley.  By  this  route 
three  express  trains  are  run  daily,  in  each  direction,  between  New 
York,  Albany,  Utica,  Syracuse,  Rochester,  Buffalo,  Niagara  Falls,  To- 
ronto, Detroit,  Chicago,  St.  Louis  and  the  West.  Palace  sleeping  cars 
are  attached  to  these  trains,  and  ]:un  through  without  change  between 
the  points  named.  The  West  Shore,  in  connection  with  the  Fitch- 
burg  Railroad,  is  also  the  shortest  line  between  Boston  and  Chicago. 
It  is  the  only  all-rail  line  to  the  Catskill  Mountains,  and  the  only  line 
by  which  drawing-room  cars  are  run  through  to  the  heart  of  the  Cats- 
kills,  During  the  season  of  summer  travel  fast  Catskill  Mountain  ei- 
press  trains  are  scheduled.  Attached  to  these  trains  are  drawing- 
room  cars,  which  run  through  without  change  between  Philadelphia, 
Jersey  City,  New  York  and  Catskill  Mountains.  Siratoga  limited  ex- 
press trains  are  also  run  by  the  West  Shore  during  the  summer  sea- 
son, and  have  drawing-room  cars  attached  which  run  through  without 
change  between  Washington,  Baltimore,  Philarlelpbia,  Long  Branch, 
Jersey  City,  New  York,  Saratoga,  and  Caldwell,  Lake  George.  Buffet 
smoking-cars,  with  revolving  chairs,  are  a  special  feature  of  the  splen- 
did service  on  the  West  Shore.  Drawing-room  cars  are  also  run  be- 
tween Saratoga  and  Niagara  Falls.  The  West  Shore  also  runs  special 
trains  between  New  York  and  New  Faltz  during  the  summer  season, 
for  the  accommodation  of  travel  to  and  from  Lakes  Mohonk  and  Min- 
newaska,  Suawangunk  Mountains,  and  all  points  in  the  Wallkiil  Val- 
ley. The  connection  in  Jersey  City  station  with  the  Pennsylvania 
Railroad  will  be  appreciated  by  travelers  to  and  from  the  South  and 
the  resorts  of  Central  New  York  State,  as  the  long  truns  er  through 
New  York  is  thereby  avoided.  Passongors  and  baggage  from  Brook- 
lyn are  taken  direct  from  the  foot  of  Fulton  Street  by  Annex  boat  to 
Jersey  City  station.  Tickets  via  West  Shore  o&n  be  purchased  at 
ticket  offices  of  all  connecting  lines,  and  they  are  sold  and  baggage 
checked  through  to  destination  from  all  stations  of  the  West  Shore 
Railruad.
